With just 18 days until your whole world falls apart I thought I'd give you a break today. There are many great tips still coming in our countdown, but today let's just enjoy this ordinary Tuesday and watch a few videos.

If you're like me, the best thing you could hear a teacher say when you were in school was: "We're going to watch a video today!"

So sit back, feel no need to take notes, and just enjoy these uplifting zombie videos.

Next up, a pretty clever Paypal commercial. Not only is it entertaining, pay close attention to the strategies shown. I promised you wouldn't have to take notes but you might jot down just a few, like "cans of soda will temporarily stop a rushing zombie" and "feel free to sacrifice strangers."

If you grew up in an age where seeing movies at school involved a reel to reel projector (Hey, don't judge... technology changed quickly once I hit college!) you might enjoy this video. It has all the basics of surviving a zombie attack in a format that is simplistic and comforting to those of us over the age of forty.

And if you have a kid like mine who loves to make Lego stop action movies, you just might enjoy this one called Lego Zombie Attack. In the interest of full disclosure, there is a bit of graphic Lego violence and Lego blood in this clip. It couldn't be avoided. It's a zombie movie, after all.

Here's one you might not expect... a Corn Pops commercial. With Zombies. Don't believe me? Go ahead, click on it.
